| Abstract | Figure Eight Island is not what you'd call a sleepy little hamlet. Home to million dollar houses and wealth, the island near Wilmington, North Carolina is the place to live and vacation for the South's privileged class. Contractor Carroll Davenport doesn't party with the jet setters; she builds houses for them. But when an arsonist destroys a house she's building and her job supervisor is found buried under ten feet of topsoil, Carroll is drawn into a world of drug smuggling, corruption and murder. It's enough to wreck her day. The challenging task of keeping Carroll safe becomes perilous when a rogue cop pegs her as the murderer. Under the protective eye of Sheriff Stan Council and with the help of a not unattractive off duty FBI agent, Carroll struggles to clear her name but what she doesn't know could get her and everyone she loves killed. |
